I need this...made me think...I haven't made any burp pads for my new dgd due in december.
|
This is great! I've been trying to explain to a friend how to do it. This is so much better than what I could explain.

I Googled this about 10 days ago as I had no idea what they were talking about when the phrase "birthing a quilt" was used.
Here is an Alex Anderson video explanation: http://www.hgtv.com/video/birthing-a...deo/index.html The tute by sarahrachel above is a very good example. |
Thanks

I tried for a full-size quilt, and failed miserably. Somehow there was a discrepancy between my top, my batting and my backing and didn't realize it til wayyyyyy too late. had to undo the whole thing and do it the other way. Fortunately I was only tying it. but that was a lot of ties to snip

Thanks

I saw a hint the other day on birthing that some might like.
At each side of the opening, sew all three fabrics together PERPENDICULAR from your seam to the edge of the opening. This will automatically make it MUCH easier in closing the gap as it will fold in your edges for you. I hope you can picture that. |
And here I thought I only "birthed" two children...no wonder I'm so out of shape! Great tutorial!
|
OMG...I'm a regular now...just noticed it! I am too. I find it hard to read any of my other e-mails or enter my contests...you guys are killin' me!
